DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS


what tho Present Administrator Has
Done for the Country.
All the Republican State conventions
held this year ''arraign" the present
Democratic Administration, and all
that are yet to be held will do the
same thing. That is the first duty Of
Republican convention, and one
that should meet and adjourn without
going through the perfunctory sol
emnity would be held recreant to the
party. What else can they dop When
they look to the National capital, they
see a Democratic President in the place
where Republicans have sat for 30
long time that they had come to re-
gard it as an appendage to their party
and all that is left them is to gnash
their teeth in helpless rage and "ar-
raign" the new Administration.
One convention bases its arraign-
ment on the battle-Aag business; an
other on the turning of some Republic
ans out of office; but all arraignmenta
are about some trifling thing that is
passing out of the public mind.
This Democratic Administration has
done some things that its Republican
predecessors never attempted, nor
ever thought Of 1t landed force Of
marines on the Isthmus of Panama to
protect American property during a
revolutionary outbreak, and, in doing
so. gave the first suggestion of vig-
orous and determined foreign policy
we have had for twenty-five years. II

five successive Republican Administra.
tions-a policy in the interest of rail.

and alien claimants-and inaugurated
the new and better policy of reclaim.

ocratic measures the Republican con-
ventions take no notice Of. They pass
over the improved commercial and in
dustrial condition Of the country, SO
marked in its contrast with the dismal
depression that prevailed for three
years before President Cleveland en-
tered. Office; and they likewise leave
unmentioned the prudent management
of the public finances. the large pay
ments on the public debt and the
vigorous prosecution of the work Of
rebuilding a navy which, under Repub-
lican management had dwindled to q
few old tubs.
The American people have eyes to
see. and in spite Of all the arraignins

they perceive that the condition of the
country is better, and its future bright.
er this day, than they were for years
under Republican administrations. and
they are in no mood for a change to
the old state of things. 81 Louis Re

would be to send a competent commits
sioner East to boom Central California.
]. i. Lyon favored this idea. A lecture
on California would always draw an audi
ence, and its influence would be much
wider.
F. 3. Smith said that letters to Eastern
papers would be valuable means of ad-
vertising, and well-written letters on Cali
fornia would always be accepted by East
ern journals.
Mayor VIM z. Davis followed, saving !:
" 1t might be easy to solicit a man to come
to California from any part in the East, but
the chances were that when he came he
would arrive through the irrigated wales of
Pasadena. The solicitation had already
been done. There is large number al
ready ticketed to this State, and 10000 to
the Bay of San Francisco. The question
is how to get them to come here and retain
them There should be an office of in
formation conveniently located and in
charge of q fair-minded, broad-minded
man, where reliable information may be
obtained regarding any one of the counties
interested"
]. B. Robinson, of Vallejo, expected that
the organization would issue pamphlet
in which each county would be represented
and well illustrated. To issue such a
pamphlet it would cost s., 500 or s.. 900,
requiring from $3.50 to $500 from each
Board.
J. L. Lyon recalled the fact that each
county was authorized by law to expepd
81 600 in advertising, and it ought to be Sc
cured.
1t was stated that several counties had
made arrangements to use this money.
In the evening the Oakland Board of
Trade held meeting, at which the dele
gates were present. Addresses were made
by Vice-President Keller, Mr. Louttit, of
Stockton Mayor Davis, of Oakland; Mr..
Smith, of the Contra Costa Board of Trade;
n. p Barrett, of Livermore: Mayer Effey,
OF Santa Cruz; w. r. Bentley and Mr..

lowing resolution and adjourned

THE Alta demands that the private de-

The CENTRAL BOARD OF TRADE.

If the permanent organization of the
Central and Northern Board of Trade is
followed up by active work and persistent
industry it will effect great good for Cen
trail and Northern California. There has
been no similar organization attempted
The Northen and Central California I'M
migration Association, projected for like
purpose and operating by other methods,
started out with as great enthusiasm, but
il waned, and It's existence is dependent
now, practically, upon the energy of Sac
ramento and Placer counties. There was
no appreciable reason for the lack of spirit
ON the part of the other counties. They
have more to gain from such efforts than
Sacramento or Placer. The Board of
Trade and Improvement organization en-
braces broader area than the Immigra-
ton Association, taking in all the counties
north Of the Tehachapi divide. We may
therefore reasonably expect stronger effort
and greater staying quality. The associa-
ton is formed also at a more auspicious
time and has the benefa of all the work
that has been done in preparing the way
by the immigration Association during the
past three years. 1t viii in no respect
conflict with the latter-the two will work
in perfect harmony and the field is large
enough for both. In fact there is
no danger whatever of crowding in the ec.
fort to make the capabilities and merits Of
the north and central sections known. and
of inviting desirable immigration to them.
What we want is something more than
reselution-passing. We need earnest. per-
severing labor and very liberal outlay. 1t
is a public-spirIted work, but justifiable
selhshness is one of the motives. We
have room in plenty in this end of the
State for couple of million more of peo-
pie. We can satisfactorily locate them in the
interior, and still leave greater room than
is found in the older States. There is,
therefore, plenty for the Immigration So
cieties, Boards of Trade and improvement
Associations to do, without in anywise
irenching upon each others efforts or

THE lack of report yesterday in the

to the objectionable neglect of the repre-

called for full report, as was its due, and
a response was received that the Asso-

to this paper demands that the fact be

DR.. McGLYNN, in an interview in the
New York Tribune, says he is preaching
the doctrine of human rights, with as
much religion as he can inject into the
subject Human rights should not need
the injection of religion; the preservation
OF the rights of men is in itself religion.
If the human right advocated IS beyond
question and debate a right, it carries with
it duty to God and to neighbor, and that is
lofty religion that makes the devotee
saint-like.
